Tickets allocated to England supporters for FIFA World Cup 2026 matches to be held in Mexico are being listed on secondary resale platforms at prices reaching up to £26,000 per ticket, according to a report by the BBC.

According to GoogleNewsEN, tickets that were originally distributed through official channels have appeared on unauthorised resale platforms at prices substantially exceeding their face value. The highest listed price reported stands at £26,000 for a single ticket.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup is scheduled to be co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Matches taking place on Mexican territory present considerable logistical and geographical challenges for England-based supporters, a factor that may have contributed to elevated demand on the secondary market.

The resale of FIFA World Cup tickets through non-authorised platforms is prohibited under FIFA’s official terms and conditions, which restrict ticket holders from transferring or selling their allocations via third-party channels. Whether FIFA intends to pursue enforcement action in relation to the listings referenced in the report has not been confirmed on the basis of available source material.

The parties involved in the resale listings could not be reached for comment. FIFA had not issued a public statement on the matter at the time of publication.
